Flat-panel Detector

Flat-panel detectors

Flat panel detectors (FPDs) are electronic devices that are used to capture X-ray images. They have become increasingly popular in recent years, replacing the traditional X-ray film and computed radiography (CR) systems. FPDs offer numerous advantages, such as improved image quality, quicker image acquisition, and greater dose efficiency.

Advantages of Flat Panel Detectors

Traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems are superior to flat-panel detectors in numerous ways. Among the primary benefits of flat panel detectors are:

Flat panel detectors offer superior spatial resolution and contrast resolution in comparison to traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems. This makes diagnosis and treatment planning more precise.

Flat panel detectors can yield digital images in seconds, whereas traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems can take several minutes to acquire an image.

Flat panel detectors require lower X-ray dosages than traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems in order to produce high-quality images. This reduces the object’s radiation exposure and increases operator safety.

Flat panel detectors eradicate the need for manual processing of X-ray film and CR plates, reducing the amount of time and effort required for image processing. This increases workflow efficiency and decreases the likelihood of errors.

Flat panel detectors can be used in a variety of industrial imaging applications, including general radiography, and computed tomography (CT). This makes them an adaptable and economical option for NDT.
